< Psalms 129 >

1 A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);
“Masansan a rautendak sipud pay kinaagtutubok,” ibaga koma ti Israel.
2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.
“Masansan a rautendak sipud pay kinaagtutubok, ngem saandak latta a naparmek.
3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.
Nagarado iti likodak dagiti agar-arado; pinaatiddogda dagiti gulgulisda.
4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.
Nalinteg ni Yahweh; pinutedna dagiti tali dagiti nadangkes.”
5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.
Maibabainda koma amin ken tumallikodda, dagiti manggurgura iti Sion.
6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.
Agbalinda koma a kasla iti ruot kadagiti tuktok ti balay a magango sakbay a dumakkel,
7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.
a saanna a mapunno iti ima ti aggapgapas wenno ti barukong ti agrepreppet iti apit.
8 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.
Saan koma nga ibaga dagiti lumabas, “Maadda koma kadakayo ti bendision ni Yahweh; bendisionandakayo iti nagan ni Yahweh.”
